| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair I love my Closer Acoustics OGY/BOB set up. Three BOBs have been recommended for larger spaces; I am in an irregular sized listening space that is open to a larger space to one side (a pretty open floor plan home) and use two BOBs on the left and r... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? I jumped the gun and spoke too soon, in error. It is the similar sized LExt phono expansion module that is paired with the Laiv HP2A headphone/pre-amp OS what comes with a proprietary “LE-LINK” connection. I looked for it and finally realized my ... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? To @soix @bassbuyer @toneranger58 and any others who recommended the Innuos - thanks! Thanks for the recommendation for that Innuos Zen MK3 streamer. I bought it and am sure glad I did. The iFi Neo feeding to the Laiv Harmony DAC was not as ri... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Or, perhaps my offer for the Innuos will be ignored! Not sure if I did it wrong but no response from the seller (the offer was not that much of a lowball). The used iFi came yesterday and the Laiv uDDC comes today so comparisons can commence! | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? I might just have two DACs, in addition to the Node, now to compare. And for two used streamers, still no tariffs, so I got that going for me. Tim | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Thanks! If nothing else I will get to compare different models! Tim | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? For now, I am going to go with a used iFi Audio NEO Stream from ECHO Audio in Portland, and then likely change it to the Laiv NET2 when it is released. I am strongly considering the Laiv preamp and, when they are released, their 200 W monoblocks a... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? I have a Transparent Power Conditioner which removes noise from the power supply, but I confess ignorance about the various power supplies people recommend. Others have also recommended that particular LPS, especially in regards with these compone... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? To sns, Thanks for those clarifying comments. I like the uDDC frm Laiv, as it allows several differnt sorts of inputs to go to the Laiv DAC via an i2S output (the connection from the DDC to the DAC comes with it and is very short). That makes is m... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? "Continuous updates, User forums, and incredible customer service." That sort of stuff is not always easily determined by just reading reviews. Thanks! Tim | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? My technoLust for a Pure Streamer shows me the following so far (not including Rose products which I started out looking at) after some of your input: Lumin U2 MINI Digital Transport/Streamer - $2,400 Lumin U2 Digital Transport/Streamer - $5,000... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Thank you Mitch for these suggestions. Apparently I shall be hustling to avoid tariff-related cost changes, if ordering items made (and still in) China. The Laiv components (Singapore is now subject to a 10% tariff) were already in LA at a west... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Not much data out there yet but what I am reading is that the DDC cleans up the signal coming to the DAC in a noticeable way. It is intended to connect to the Laiv DAC via i2S and with its own multiple inputs it allows non-i2S outputs to connect t... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Thanks for your ideas. I am looking forward to learning more about this realm and getting started! | |
| Directional wires/cables Seems confusing. I bought some higher quality cat6 cable to my system and read that they should be oriented from the source to the sound, or words to that effect. So, from the wall is “source”… to a switch. The next short run is to a Roon and a se... |
